A team of dedicated board members, volunteers, and student interns has published every page in Volume 9. This volume includes 360 images of paintings and lyrical descriptions of birds, now available online for everyone to enjoy anywhere in the world. This is a monumental task. Each volume requires approximately 400 hours to photograph, edit, transcribe, catalog, and publish online. We need your support to complete this work.
If you're tech-savvy, have a good eye, are meticulous with details, and love structured data, please consider volunteering by emailing us at hello@rexbrasher.org.
We encourage all bird lovers and supporters to consider a monetary donation to support our mission to make Rex's work available for everyone. You can provide a one-time or recurring donation online.
Males return first from Winter sojourns in the tropics. The females are entertained by prospective mates with such a ludicrous series of bowing, scraping and awkward waddlings, that a lucky watcher in the early Spring twilight can scarcely credit his vision. These contortions are executed with wierd puffing grunts not heard at any other season.
When the eggs or young are threatened, some pairs have been known to remove the treasures to another location simply by opening their two-inch mouths and picking them up.
Hummingbirds, Sparrows and Swallows have been found at rare intervals in their stomachs. They are named after the common call.
From southern Virginia, southern Ohio and Missouri south to the Gulf Coast and central Texas.
